Salt Lake City, Utah – Around sunset last night a large drone removed the golden Angel Moroni from the top of the Salt Lake City Mormon Temple. Witnesses claim that the drone used a green laser to cut and remove the statue from the top of the building. Some sort of suction cup was deployed and used to carry the heavy gold plated Moroni off into the sunset. Apparently after the heist, the drone made a rapid descent and touched down in Magna, Utah.

The LDS Church commented “We have dealt with this sort of thing in the past. Many people have tried to steal the angel. But have never been successful. We will find these evildoers and bring them to justice.”

TSP 49:37-39: Behold, ye have made statues of gold, and have called them by my name, and have placed them upon your temples …. that ye believe are the houses of holiness unto the Lord. And in sorrow I have seen these things and shrink from the knowledge that ye have used my name … in this manner. And I have asked the Lord that if it be possible, that he make an intercession and stop this abomination in my name. But he hath suffered it . …”
